The woodlark or wood lark (''Lullula arborea'') is the only species in the lark genus ''Lullula''. It breeds across most of Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the mountains of north Africa. It is mainly resident (non-migratory) in the west of its range, but eastern populations of this passerine bird are more migratory, moving further south in winter. There are two subspecies of woodlark, ''L. a. arborea'' and ''L. a. pallida''. The former is native to northern regions of Europe, while the latter can be found in the south of the woodlark's range. Their diet is mostly composed of seeds but also includes insects during the breeding period. A comparatively small bird, the woodlark is between 13.5 and 15 centimetres long and roughly 20% shorter than the skylark. It is a brown bird with a pale underside and has a white-tipped tail. ==Taxonomy and systematics== There are two subspecies of woodlark: *''Lullula arborea arborea'', native to northern regions of Europe, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and France *''Lullula arborea pallida'', native to regions south of Europe, particularly Crimea, the Caucasus, Iran and Turkmenistan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「woodlark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
